[Haskell-cafe] Re: Cabal update problem

Hi,

after updating to cabal-install-0.8.0/Cabal-1.8.0.2 with GHC 6.10.4, I always get an error when updating the package list:

...

cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org cabal: Codec.Compression.Zlib: premature end of compressed stream

Is there a way to fix this without rebuilding from the latest darcs repo?

Does removing ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.tar.gz help? Did you overwrite your old cabal-binary. If not, does this binary also fail? (I think everything under ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org can be savely deleted and will be downloaded again if needed.) Which architecture you're on? Cheers Christian

Best wishes,

Maciej
